JUHI CHAWLA: LOOKING FOR 'EDGIER' ROLES

Breaking away from her bubbly and positive image in Bollywood, Juhi Chawla played the grey shade character of Sumitra Devi in 2014 film “Gulaab Gang”. The actress says she would 'love' to play more negative roles. 

”I would love to do more negative roles. I am open to doing something unusual again but I am spoiled after the experience of 'Gulaab Gang'. The next negative character has to be something fantastic and edgier than Sumitra Devi,” Juhi said here. 

During her career, the 47-year-old mostly appeared in romantic or comic roles in films like “Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak”, “Bol Radha Bol”, “Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke”, “Darr”, “Ishq”, “Son of Sardaar” and “Bhootnath”.

“In 20 years of my career, I was only known for my bubbly, positive, sweet roles. I was apprehensive to play this kind of character who was completely evil from the first to last scene. So, I refused the role at first. But I liked the spunk in 'Gulaab Gang',” Juhi added. 

The actress, a strong believer in equality for women and women empowerment, is content with the way her career shaped up in Indian films. “When I look back at my career and my life and how much I have learnt, I feel blessed with what I have. I have stopped fighting with myself,” she said. “There is an amazing power getting to know your inner self and learning how to use it and not fight with the world. If you know what makes you happy, your personality, interests and capabilities, just use them and everything else flows beautifully,” Juhi added. 

The actress will next be seen in “Chalk n Duster” along with Shabana Azmi, Zarina Wahab and Divya Dutta.
